Tips:

When applying for scholarships, watch deadlines! Each scholarship program runs on its own schedule.

Do your homework! Does your parent's employer or organizations they belong to offer scholarships? How about organizations and businesses within your community?

Develop a great personal statement - This is an important part of your application! Create one in MS Word then copy and past it into the application.
